Stay Focused on Your Diet with Foobi. Review and Giveaway!

Ok, maybe I’m not the best person to review Foobi. I mean, I’m italian and Italy is famous for its foods goodness: pasta, pizza, they’re famous all around the world. Maybe food is one of the few reasons I still love Italy. Anyway, when I first saw Foobi I was shocked by its gorgeous interface and smooth animations. Now that I’tried it, I can say that Foobi, if in the right hands, could be one of the most useful apps on your iPhone.

And turns out that we’ve also got some codes to give away.

Foobi is an application which helps you in keeping track of your diet. Well, it keeps track of what you eat and how much you eat, not the diet you should follow, actually. Indeed, Foobi doesn’t count calories: many people (including me) don’t know what calories are, so the developers wisely chose to exclude this feature and go for another solution.

Servings. Foobi keeps track of how many servings you had for each food during a specific day, and this works perfectly for diet n00bs like me. The interface is made of two main sliders: the top one allows you to switch days back and forth, while you can change food “categories” with the bottom horizontal slider. Foobi comes with almost 20 default food categories (like Meat, Eggs, Sweets) but you can add as many as you like with a few taps.  Once you’ve choosen the categories that fits most to your usual “diet” you can start using Foobi. Where “using” means” telling the application how many servings you had for a category. Like “Today I eat…2 eggs, 1 banana and 1 sandwich”. Tap, tap, tap and you’re set.

Then, you can track your eating habits by switching to landscape mode and Foobi will display a weekly graph with the colors associated to each food. Drink too much beer on Saturdays? Yeah, it’s not a bug dude.

Overall, Foobi is what every utility should look like: it’s simple, awesome and useful. If you’re that kind of person who doesn’t remember the foods you ate, or you just want to realize how many servings you ate and when, Foobi is aimed at you.

And last, the UI is so sexy you’d want to eat it too.
